Philip Kwame Apagya Born: 1958 (age 63 years), Takoradi, Ghana (West Africa). His photographs are rooted in the lineage of West African studio portraiture, using painted backdrops to transport his subjects into imagined worlds that exemplify western consumerist ideals of luxury. His sitters choose their fantasy environment; they are depicted cheerfully boarding an airplane, in front of an affluent home or within a modern urban interior. Apagya repaints his backdrops regularly to keep up with clients’ demands. ‘Truth is not my major concern,’ he has said. ‘I am more interested in creating prestige, fantasy and beauty.’ Text courtesy of Phaidon.com Video is a clip from a documentary- Future Remembrance - Photography and Image Arts in Ghana 1998.
